Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the factors influencing the contraceptive behavior of male and female university students. Data were collected after receiving the written consent of 238 university students in G city during the period from September 22 to November 23 in 2017. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS PASW 18.0 program. The results revealed that 56.7% of the subjects used contraceptives, and 23.9% used condoms. Male students were more exposed to sexual content than female students (t=6.02, p=0.000) and had an open sexual attitude (t=5.38, p=0.000). Female students showed high scores on subjective norms (t=-3.51 p=0.000) and acceptable and positive contraceptive attitudes (t=-4.21, p=0.000). Among factors influencing the contraceptive attitude of males, the subjective norm was 3.6%. Female students had a 25.5% influence on contraceptive attitude, contraception, sexual education frequency, and sexual content exposure. It is suggested that sexual education and sexual counseling programs be developed to form positive attitudes toward contraceptives through iterative research.

본 연구는 남녀 대학생의 피임태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 자료수집은 2017년 9월 22일부터 11월 23일까지 경상북도 G시에 소재한 대학생 238명으로부터 서면으로 동의를 받은 후 이루어졌다. 자료분석은 SPSS. PASW. 18 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 피임은 대상자의 56.7%가 하였고, 피임법으로는 콘돔을 사용한 경우가 23.9%로 가장 많았다. 남학생은 여학생보다 성관련 콘텐츠에 많이 노출이 되어 있고(t=6.02, p=.000), 개방적인 성태도를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다(t=5.38, p=.000). 이에 비해 여학생은 주관적 규범의 점수가 높았고(t=-3.51 p=.000), 피임태도에 대해서는 수용적이고 긍정적인 태도를 나타냈다(t=-4.21, p=.000). 남학생은 주관적 규범 점수가 높을수록 피임태도가 긍정적이었으며(r=0.19, p=.039), 여학생의 경우 성관련 콘텐츠 노출이 적을수록 피임태도가 수용적이고 긍정적이었다(r=-0.26 p=.005). 피임태도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 남학생은 주관적 규범이 3.6%의 설명력을 나타냈고, 여학생은 피임여부, 성교육 횟수, 성관련 콘텐츠 노출 정도가 25.5%의 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 본 피임태도를 긍정적으로 조절할 수 있는 영향요인을 파악하는 반복연구를 통해 피임태도를 긍정적으로 형성할 수 있는 성교육 및 성상담 프로그램을 개발하도록 제언한다.
